Love Songs That Make Me Smile
With Valentine’s Day right around the corner I thought I’d share some of my favorite love songs.
Ever since middle school I’ve loved love songs. What young teenage girl doesn’t though? It is a pivotal time of childhood where you first start developing crushes and claiming songs to be “ours” after awkwardly swaying with a “boyfriend” in the school gym.
Now, at 27, I still have a special spot in my heart for a great love song. Certain songs do such a wonderful job of capturing the emotions and feelings of being in love that I can’t help but get goosebumps no matter how many dozens or hundreds of times I have listened to the song.
Maybe you like listening to love songs, too! Or maybe you are looking for some wedding songs?
Here are some of my favorites from my Happy Heart playlist on Spotify accompanied by my favorite lyrics.
“Because You Loved Me” by Celine Dion
“I’m grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don’t know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you.”
“Charmed Life” by Joy Williams
“What we got is coloring a world of black and white.”
“Chasing Cars” by Snow Patrol
“All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see.”
“Can’t Help Falling in Love with You” by Elvis Presley (current favorite version is covered by Kina Grannis)
“Take my hand,
Take my whole life, too
For I can’t help falling in love with you.”
“Daylight” by Taylor Swift
“I once believed love would be (black and white)
But it's golden (golden)
And I can still see it all (in my head)
Back and forth from New York (sneakin' in your bed)
I once believed love would be (burnin' red)
But it's golden
Like daylight.”
“Die A Happy Man” by Thomas Rhett
“I don't need no vacation,
No fancy destination
Baby, you're my great escape
We could stay at home,
Listen to the radio
Or dance around the fireplace.”
“Everything” by Michael Buble
“And I can’t believe that I’m your man
And I get to kiss you, baby, just because I can.
Whatever comes our way, we’ll see it through
And you know that’s what our love can do.”
“From the Ground Up” by Dan and Shay
“This life will go by
In the blink of an eye
But I wouldn’t want to spend it without you by my side
The clouds are gonna roll
The earth’s gonna shake
But I’ll be your shelter through the wind and the rain.”
“Greatest Love Story” by LANCO
“So we went out for a couple of drinks to find out who we are now
Sure we changed but way deep down you had the same old feelings for me
I went to the store and bought you a ring and I got down on one knee.”
“Hearts Don’t Break Around Here” by Ed Sheeran
“I feel safe when you're holding me near
Love the way that you conquer your fear
You know hearts don't break around here.”
“I Believe” by the Jonas Brothers
“‘Cause you show me something I can’t live without
I believe, I believe, I believe
When you hold me, it’s like heaven coming down.”
“I Get to Love You” by Ruelle
“And they say love is a journey
I promise that I'll never leave
When it's too heavy to carry
Remember this moment with me.”
“I Love You” by Kina* *Artist not on Spotify
“I can see the day we met
I can see it clearly
The first day of my new life
I knew I would be your wife, yeah.”
“I Was Made for Loving You” by Tori Kelly ft Ed Sheeran
“Hold me close through the night
Don’t let me go, we’ll be alright
Touch my soul and hold it tight
I’ve been waiting all my life.”
“I Won’t Give Up” by Jason Mraz
“'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up.”
“I’m in Love with You” by Joy Williams
“When we’re leaving dreams and rolling back the covers
All at once, we’re getting ready for the day
It’s when you look at me in the mirror while you’re shaving
Before I go on my way, you say.”
“Is That Alright” by Lady Gaga (from A Star is Born)
“I hope you’re still with me
When I’m not quite myself
And I pray that you’ll lift me
When you know I need help.”

In lifetimes before
And I promise you never
Will you hurt anymore.”
“You Are in Love” by Taylor Swift
“One night, he wakes
Strange look on his face
Pauses, then says ‘You're my best friend’
And you knew what it was, he is in love.”
